Dorchester Massachusetts is Boston's largest neighborhood and also its oldest, founded just a few months before the City itself.
The Neponset River provided the power for many manufacturing mills located in the lower mills section of Dorchester which is rich in history of the industrial age.
Today Dorchester retains its diversity and with the multi-family homes retains its suburban like feel.
Dorchester is home to the University of Massachusetts and the John F. Kennedy Library located at the tip of Columbia Point and visible from interstate 93.
